11. Thanks!

I used what is called flexible-priority mode, which allows me to begin with auto settings for shutter speed, aperture and ISO and then adjust them manually to my liking.

For most of the shots the auto-focus was set to 'whole area' but I used 'expand area', expanded from center focus, for the penultimate shot.

The first 35mm film cameras I used had a built-in light meter but there were no automatic settings. I'm not nostalgic for the days when everything had to be done manually, although there are things I miss about my old film cameras--the sound and tactile sensation of advancing the film lever, loading and rewinding film, and opening and closing the back panel.
